A message from North Herts District Council...
Step into spring with the reopening of our splash parks across North Herts and café kiosks in Hitchin and Letchworth. Let’s hope the lovely spring sun stays with us throughout the summer! Our four splash parks are due to open every day, from 10am to 6pm, from Saturday 3 May until Sunday 7 September:
North Herts splash parks are located at:
Hitchin’s Bancroft Recreation Ground- café kiosk
Letchworth’s Howard Park – also has a paddling pool and café kiosk
Baldock’s Avenue Park
Royston’s Priory Memorial Gardens
Alan North, Greenspace Service Manager at North Herts Council, said: “We’re excited to be coming into the splashpad season, we know they are popular throughout the district. We just hope we keep this lovely weather!”
Our park kiosks serve hot and cold soft drinks and light snacks including pastries, toasted paninis, and ice cream (including vegan), and you can eat at our dedicated outside sitting or take away. Dogs are also catered for with free dog treats on offer and water bowl.
Alan added: “Bancroft and Howard Park are great places to welcome spring with a hot drink and perhaps a treat, whether you’re taking the kids to the park or are just going for a walk.”
If you’re wondering about our outdoor pools, Letchworth Lido is due to reopen 24 May to 7 September, and Hitchin as below:
- 10-23 May – cold water
- 24 May-7 September – normal season
- 8-21 September – cold water
